Chapter 803 We Know

Even though Michael had only been in the Origin Expanse for a few hours, he had yet to take a proper look at his territory. The daily reports were also waiting for him to extract.

Despite that, Michael chose to leave the Origin Expanse. He had to return to the Nest and ask something. The Runic Gate manifested before Michael, and he disappeared again.

Back in the Nest, Michael rushed out of the training hall, searching for Evee. Fortunately, it didn't take long to find Eren's daughter. She was in a massive room, working on something. Michael unleashed Cosmic Stride to appear near her. He cleared his throat and approached Evee, ignoring the mountains of books and the bunch of people in the room.

"Hey Evee. Do you, by any chance, know when the bridge to my galaxy is completed? The Supreme Human Alliance started acting up and they're already infesting the humans in the Tritan Alliance. I think something big is going to happen soon," Michael blurted out, the distress in his voice palpable.

Evee was surprised to see Michael. It was even more confusing how he made it past the security system. However, she didn't show much confusion and smiled at the youngest addition to the Nest's power.

"Hello, Michael. I heard that you managed to fight Ligno'vsh head-on. Congratulations, you're much stronger than I've estimated," Evee greeted him, clearly noticing that Michael was getting more impatient with every word she said.

"To answer your question, the bridge should be done in a month or two. And I do not mean the Origin Expanse time with that. Don't look at me like that. I'm not responsible for the bridges. And, just for the record, it is nobody's fault that the bridge takes so long to anchor. Your backwater galaxy has almost no energy waves. It's already a wonder that we can establish a bridge or that there are so many races with access to the Origin Expanse," Evee answered while gesturing to the other people in the room. She handed them a few books before looking back at Michael.

"As for your troubles with the Supreme Human Alliance..." Evee started, "We know."

Michael's lips parted, but no words escaped upon hearing what Evee said.

"The Nest knows?"

Tiara finished the last report, her eyes glimmering in excitement. He understood the Silverfang Princess well. He was also excited about the changes.

His territory had become much grander than he'd expected when his War Rune manifested first.

First, his territory in Paradise Valley was much bigger than the Untamed Jungle. However, that was something Michael had already expected. There were no enemies in Paradise Valley. It wasn't necessary to deploy as many Guards and combatants to scavenge through Paradise Valley to remove all potential threats while the workers were busy constructing the settlements.

Deploying half a million workers to construct several settlements was easier in Paradise Valley. In the Untamed Jungle, every builder group required a unit of Guards to consistently protect them. The monsters in the Untamed Jungle were not only powerful but also numerous. Thousands of Untamed Army members were out to hunt the rapidly expanding populations of monsters at all times, yet the Untamed Jungle was too fast. The flora and fauna regenerated much faster than the Untamed Army and Lumberjacks could work.

Therefore, while Michael was absent, Rebecca and the other members responsible for decision-making decided that they would only construct one settlement at a time in the Untamed Jungle while expanding aggressively in the Sacred Desert.

The 10th settlement in Paradise Valley was finished not too long ago, while the 5th settlement in the Untamed Jungle was about to be finished within the next week.

However, even though Paradise Valley had only multiplied by two the number of settlements, the number of subjects living there was several times higher. The settlements in Paradise Valley were like massive cities that could only be found in the most protected areas of kingdoms, whereas the Untamed Jungle settlements were like mid-sized fortresses.

Each settlement in the Untamed Jungle was well protected and could be used as a fortress to defend against mighty enemies, such as the powerhouses of the Zentika Empire and other neighboring Lords. The fortresses had been constructed to protect the citizens of the Untamed Jungle, ensure that the settlements were hard to pinpoint by enemies, and avoid destroying too much of the Untamed Jungle in the construction process.

The Untamed Jungle wasn't like the Sacred Desert. It was full of life that could not be destroyed just like that. Paradise Valley was different. There was nothing. Expanding there was much easier.

However, that didn't mean the Untamed Jungle was less valuable. If anything, the Untamed Jungle was the sole reason Michael's subjects expanded into Paradise Valley.

Without the Untamed Jungle, it would have been impossible to establish ten city-sized settlements in Paradise Valley!
